The 2021 Barbera is showing the characteristics of a solar vintage, being very different from the 2019 and 2020. The 2021 yielded a Barbera of rich character, with great drinkability and structure. Dense and fleshy, accompanied by freshness of the fruit and velvety tannins. Delicious to enjoy upon release but give this a couple of years to reveal its potential. Drink from 2023 to 2028.
The company’s philosophy has been to follow a traditional style, whilst using selected modern technology to obtain the finest expression from each terroir. The late Bruno believed that great wines are born from the vines by the expert hands of the growers, and the new releases from the estate, overseen by his daughter Bruna, are a testament to his beliefs.
There is no more significant name in Piedmont than ‘el Maestro’ Bruno Giacosa. His reputation as one of the greatest winemakers in the history of Piedmont has been built over 50+ years and the estate boasts some of the most celebrated holdings in the region, notably Asili in Barbaresco and Falletto and Falletto Vigna Le Rocche in Serralunga d’Alba, Barolo.
Notably, the estate does not shy away from going against consensus and only releasing wines that live up to their very high standards.
